laser peels
A Sciton LaserPeel is a resurfacing treatment that precisely removes a thin layer of skin using a specialized laser. It uses advanced erbium laser technology to “peel” away the top layer of skin with controlled precision, improving texture, tone, and clarity. It’s often called the “weekend peel” because it delivers results with minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing procedures.

how does it work?
The Sciton LaserPeel uses an erbium laser to remove a very fine layer of the outer skin (the epidermis) with precise control. As the skin heals, new cells form, leading to a smoother, fresher appearance. Collagen production increases over time, further improving skin elasticity and tone.
nano vs micro laser peel
Depth: NanoLaserPeel operates at roughly 5–10 microns, whereas MicroLaserPeel goes deeper, typically 20–50 microns.
Targeted Concerns: NLP is ideal for mild sun damage, fine lines, and brightening. MLP treats deeper wrinkles, acne scars,, and significant pigment issues.
Downtime & Recovery: a nanolaserpeel involves 1–2 days of mild flaking. microlaserpeel requires 3–5 days with more noticeable peeling, with redness and swelling similar to a sunburn.
Procedure Intensity: Both are quick and use a topical anesthetic to manage discomfort, but a microlaserpeel is a more intense, yet still superficial, epidermal peel.

Most patients see noticeable results after one session, but a series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart can maximize improvement.

Most people see improvement once the skin heals, typically within 5 to 7 days. Skin texture and tone continue to improve as collagen regenerates.
